A few Bomb celebrities have been harkening back to the early nineties with dark plum lipstick:
The vamp like color was super hot a few years ago with artists like Total, 702, and Foxy Brown.
I’ll admit it: I totally got down with the dark color in my younger years! But now, if I go for a color, it’s more likely to be a bright red, not a dark plum.
Will you ladies be trying this old/new buzzworthy beauty trend?
If so, go for these:

Hey Bombshells!
So yesterday I decided to be economical and take the M60 bus to the airport. I was digging into my latest edition of Women’s Wear Daily when my eyes spied this pretty in pink fashionista, Zaine:
She was boldy wearing a bright pink and red wool vintage dress with pink tights and red shoes. She broke the color barrier down with a light brown satchel handbag and funked it all up with a half braided hair style. I loved it!
When I asked about her ‘fit, she said, “I’m in love with the 60’s and I love to make a statement!” About her vintage dress, she said, ‘You’d be surprised what New Yorkers throw away.”
What do you think of her style?

Bebe has done it again, this time feeling “inspired” by Marc Jacobs:
Both show stopping jackets feature strong shoulders and have color similarities, but Marc Jacobs’ Aqua Bonded Filigree Velvet Fitted Long Sleeve Peplum Jacket ($1800) has more of a futuristic look than Bebe’s Ornate Puff Sleeve Jacket ($169), which looks like it could have been made from grandma’s couch!
Which one do you think will make more heads turn?

When friends bemoan that fashion is boring right now, I always ask them how much they’re paying attention to the contemporary scene, where, to my mind, some of the most exciting style moments are happening. Yesterday’s Nanette Lepore Spring 2010 collection, for instance, is a fine example.
Lepore, who’s known mostly her for uber-girly looks that sometimes border on the frilly and frivolous, really evolved with this line, presenting a look that retained its feminine sensibility while playing with silhouettes and graphic designs that were more abstract and modern than her usual offerings.
I’m a devotee of Splendid and James Perse so the cotton pieces here really impressed, especially the striped one-shoulder dress and the crocheted bib on a few of the tops. The colors were also really enjoyable: bright citrus hues and jewel tones that were just the slightest bit muted, enough to lend the clothes a more sophisticated, sobering air.
Another favorite was the above balloon-sleeve khaki jacket, which I thought was a smart take on the strong shoulder trend without giving it the normal boxy treatment. And I think you’ll all love the wedge booties that accompanied each look: strong, distinct, and playfully sexy. Nanette did include some of the femme frocks she’s known for but even they were somewhat quieter here, and not rife with her normally blaring girlish overtones.
What say y’all?
